In her interesting talk Mrs.
Johnson touched on the lives
and influences of women of the
Old Testament, such as Eve,
Sarah, Abigail, Jochabed and
the New Testament were Salome,
Eunice and Lois, grandmother
of Timothy, and how they have
come down through history say-
ing “We could well use their
example today.”
Mrs. Kendall and her co-hos-
tess, Mrs. R. H. Bush, served
delicious refreshments of coffee,
nuts, candy and ambrosia cake
to the seventeen members pres-
ent.

dall played several selections on
the hostess’ Hammond organ.

ing to Walter Chalupnik, chief
horticulturist.
“Climatic fluctuations, espe-
ciallyat this time of year, cre-
ate a variance in blooming and
make it almost impossible to
predict peak blooming dates,"
he said. “A long, hard freeze can
damage flowers already bloom-
ing and stunt the growth of buds
thwarting a spectacular showing
for the whole season.”
"However," he pointed, out,
"Camellias at Hodges Gardens
are acclaimed to withstand eold-
er temperatures then Camellias
along the Gulf Coast, and we d’o
have some choice varieties on
display in the greenhouses.”
Out-of-doors varieties of - well-
known and long time favorite
line winding trails among the
lichen-covered rock in the aban-
doned stone quary, which forms
the nucleus for the famed forest
gardens. Camellias in waxy
white, delicate pink and flam-
boyant red ranging from mina-
turesto great fluffy giants seem
to flourish in the confines of
the old quarry, Which is. so like
their natural habitat on the
rocky hillsides in East Asia. The
sight on a winter day is dazzling
—under the towering pines.
Belonging to the Tea family—
Camellias were introduced into
the Western world in about 1600
when Queen Elizabeth I was on
the throne of England. They
were craftly substituted by the
Chinese for Thea plants which
traders of the East India Com-
pany were attempting to take
back to Europe. Although their
leaves produced flavorless tea—
the plants bore fabulous flowers,
which gained fame in songs and
poetry and became a symbol of
constancy and virginity. English
aristocrates brought them to

er of Texas from persons in wild-
ely scattered parts of the na-
tion is urging him to seek the
Republican presidential nomina-
tion.
This—along with the fact that
he has emerged as one of t h e
foremost GOP leaders in t h e
South, makes it virtually certain
Texas will play a key role in the
1968 GOP national convention.
Such a role might lead to Tower
getting at least the No. 2 spot on
the ticket.
Aware that many a presidential
drive has been nipped in the bud
by bad timing—the 41-year-o 1 d
one-time political science profes-
sor is saying little at this point.
“It’s too early for the party
to be picking sides,” he observ-
es. "We have a number who
would make good nominees. For
myself, I’m not seeking any oth-
er office — but of course—it’s
flattering to be mentioned."
A sample of the letters is one
received' from Anthony F. And-
rade Jr., chairman of Sacra-
mento County Unit of the Young
Republicans of California.
"Speaking on behalf of the
Sacramento County Young Re-
publicans," he wrote—"I re-
spectfully request that you con-
sider the possibility of placing
yourself in the position of be-
coming a candidate for the of-
fice of the presidency in 1968."
A group of students at Cham-
inade in Hawaii wrote of plans
to start a “Tower for President"
club.
Letters from leaders of GOP
groups in Missouri, Indiana and
Florida have also been received
by Tower.
With persons like Govs. Geo.
Romney of Michigan and Ron-
ald Reagan of California a n d
former Vice President Richard
Safeway Stores ,Inc., has an-
nounced sales for the 52 weeks
ended December 31 totaled $3,-
345,813,000 as compared to $2,-
939,043,421 for the comparable
1965 period, an increase of
14%.
Safeway—in achieving the
record sales figure, became the
first company of any kind head-
quartered west of Chicago to
have annual sales exceeding
$3,000,000,000.
The food company’s consoli-
dated sales for the final 16
weeks ended December 31 a-
mounted to - $1,037,232,136 as
against $920,155,037 in 1965-—
in increase of 13%.
to be chosen by popular election
from the South since Civil War
days, is expected to have the
support of most Southern dele-
gates.
Sen. Strom1 Thurmond of
South Carolina—although now a
Republican—isssued a statement
recently saying he would not
seek the GOP presidential nom-
ination. He switched from the
Democratic Party in 1964.
Tower traveled widely to
speaek on behalf of the Republi-
can ticket in 1964. In fact — he
and a Texas GOP stalwart—Pet-
er O’Donnell played an import-
ant role in getting their party’s
nomination for Barry Gold'-
water. It would not be surprising
therefore, if Arizona and some
other Western states threw their
support behind Tower in some of
the balloting and behind-the-
scenes bargaining.

the Jiger has a fiberglass hull-body, moves on six low
pressure rubber wheels and is powered by two six h.p.
engines. It will be displayed at the Mid-America Boat
Show in Cleveland Jan. 20-29
There were 2,176 stores in op-
eration at the close of 1966 as
compared to 2,128 at the end
of 1965.

M. Nixon being mentioned as
likely choices for the Republi-
presidential nomination, he is
said by friends to be holding no
illusions he would' have much of
a chance.
But—wise to the ways of poli-
tics and the adage-—“you don’t
run for the vice presidency," he
may let a “Tower for President”
boom build up so that he can
go to the convention with size-
able: bloc of delegate votes. He i
thus would be in a good trading
position that could lead to the
Vice presidential nomination.
Possible division of delegate
votes on the first presidential
ballot at 1968 GOP convention
could place Tower among it h e
leaders. Texas will have 56 dele-
gate votes out of 1,333. It w i 1 1
take 667 to win. New York will
have 92, California 86, Penn-
sylvania 64; Ohio and Illinois 58
each.
